Function LengthOfPageList resolves correctly for Insure framework

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3

When using the Insure framework, it was not possible to expand any steps in the activity. Investigation showed that the rule 'LengthOfPageList' was present in the library Utilities in two different rulesets – Pega Rules and Pega Insure CSB. When the rule was cached with an application stack containing Pega Insure CSB, it generated a "Failed to find instance" error for applications that did not use Pega Insure CSB in the stack. During the run-time call to the correct LengthOfPageList() RUF was not resolved because of ambiguity in the resolution. To correct this, the call to the RUF will now contain a fully qualified name.

Added explicit step page to resolve NPE with custom error message

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3

A null pointer exception was generated during case run time harness refresh after a custom error message was inserted. This was traced to a blank step page related to the custom message, and has been resolved by adding a primary step page at step 10 of the New(Work-) activity to prevent the NPE on harness reload.

Unescaping characters implemented for expressions

Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6, Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4, Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3, Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

An issue where expression builder statements were evaluated differently at runtime than at testing has been resolved. Pega Platform expressions with String literals(that is, sequences of characters enclosed in quotation marks) now unescape characters in strategy shapes such as Set Property or Filter.

Corrected parameter being encrypted during change portal configuration

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5

After configuring a changePortalLayout control using .pyDescription as property, trying to switch the portal was throwing a error page. The same configuration worked in earlier platform versions. This was traced to recent updates where the activity parameter ended up being encrypted along with the activity name, and has been resolved by removing the parameter from encryption input and adding it to encryption output.

Discard changes dialog now showing for local actions

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5

After having modified case data without saving and clicking on a menu entry (left menu, search, ...), the system shows a dialog box to ask the user to confirm it is ok to discard changes. However, this confirmation dialog did not work with local actions, leading users to lose their work without any warning nor any way to step back. This was traced to a difference in the dirty form check, which was not present when launching a local action from a case. An enhancement has now been added to the handleMenuAction js function in pypega_ui_harnessactions.js which will perform a dirty form check with a prompt.

Improved requestor cleanup

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5

Batch- and Browser-type Requestors were building up over time in both the Admin Studio and in the PegaRULES log and not removed until the system was restarted. This has been resolved by adding two extra cleanupRequestor calls to the Email Listener implementation.

SR-D29034 · Issue 500681

Added support for JSON mapping of deep nested pagelist objects

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5

An exception occurred when using a JSON data transform in the service activity to map the clipboard data to JSON on the third level of a structure formed as Pagelist-->page-->pagelist. To resolve this, support has been added for nested pagelist mapping with deep nesting of objects (configured for one sided actions) and arrays.

Queue Batch activity correctly passes chlld process access group

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5

When users attempted to create an index using the schema tools landing page, an error displayed in the table history stating "Create index failed". Investigation showed that this happened when a user was authenticated without the PegaRULES:DatabaseAdministrator role and then switched to an Access Group with the PegaRULES:DatabaseAdministrator role. The issue was traced to the activity that launched the batch requestor missing the parameter pzUseCurrentAccessGroupForChild due to the Queue Batch activity only passing the default access group authorization. This has been resolved by adding code to pass the additional authorization which will allow users to create an index in this scenario.

SR-D33214 · Issue 514023

Added safeURL encoding for Japanese characters in attached filenames

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5

It was not possible to preview a Japanese-titled PDF file attached on a work object. Investigation showed that in case of Japanese characters, file names were not being correctly encoded during the fetch request when JBoss was used. The retrieval worked correctly under Tomcat. In order to ensure consistent encoding, the safeURL API will be used for constructing the URL and for the activities DisplayAttachFile and pzDownloadFromRepository which add the ContentDisposition header.

SR-D33227 · Issue 510825

Check added for lock expiration when using Save for Default locking

Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5

With the default case locking policy, during the process from creating a Case Object to Submit it was possible for multiple users to edit and save the same work object if the lock expired for the original user. No warnings appeared. To resolve this, handling has been added for a lock expiration scenario: previously, Save for Default locking was not considered. This has now been updated with a check that will evaluate whether or not the lock is gone before attempting to save.
